Looking Backward While Moving Forward: Zobrist, Rays Win in Walk-Off Fashion

The Rays won by a score of 4-3 last night, thanks to Ben Zobrist’s fourth career walk-off in the wee hours of the night. Tampa Bay has won a season high four consecutive games, and looks to sweep the Twins Thursday afternoon. Today’s game comes on the heels of the four hour, 13 inning marathon of a game, and the Rays will take the field a mere 12 hours after dog-piling BenZo at first base. Suffice to say, I’m a bit haggard, and not just because I stayed up to watch the game in its entirety. Bulleted highlights are below.
